And I was worried about zombies!!

"In 1981, a 37-year-old factory worker named Kenji Urada entered a restricted safety zone at a Kawasaki manufacturing plant to perform some maintenance on a robot. In his haste, he failed to completely turn it off. The robotís powerful hydraulic arm pushed the engineer into some adjacent machinery, thus making Urada the first recorded victim to die at the hands of a robot."

Today, I was talking to my friend in the battery manufacturing industry. Apparently, their robots went haywire occasionally. Occasionally, their calibration would shift off. THey would end up doing the same motion, but pointing in the wrong direction!!

Edit: And the reason we had sex toys is because they make excellent practical jokes for other traveling coworkers. A man pulling out his laptop with a giant rubber penis tied to it with a couple feet of string in a security line at the airport is priceless.

That's hilarious, but terrible. Imagine if it happened in a meeting with a customer.

The guy who became the first robot fatality is part of why lockout/tagout procedures exist.

I'm trying to figure out if physorg is re-running their own articles, or plagiarizing another's articles years later in hopes they won't notice. Either way, I recall reading the same thing a couple years ago.

And the Cylon has a terrible pelvic design. They'd get almost no torque from such small rotator joints. Amateurs.
